“Very stylish contemporary setting for pitch perfect dishes.” - AA Inspector
WANSFORD, CAMBRIDGESHIRE

The dining room here was originally a conservatory, but the ceiling has been covered; there’s still a lot of glass and plenty of light, with huge, modern chandeliers housed in large metal bird cages. Dark wood flooring and brightly coloured upholstery give a smartly contemporary look. Service is polished and attentive, with members of the kitchen team delivering and explaining dishes. A well-balanced starter of ox tongue with Ashby asparagus, crispy hen of the woods and wasabi might set you up for a tender lamb cutlet, complemented by the vibrant colours and flavours of baby gem, peas and broad beans, wild garlic and Tunworth cheese.

About the area
Discover Cambridgeshire
To the west of East Anglia is Cambridgeshire, a county best known as the home to the university that makes up the second half of ‘Oxbridge’ (the other half is Oxford). As well as its globally renowned educational credentials, it also has a rich natural history; much of its area is made up of reclaimed or untouched fens. These are low-lying areas which are marshy and prone to flooding. The lowest point in the UK is at Holme Fen, which is some 9 feet (2.75 metres) below sea level. Some of the fens had been drained before, but it was in the 19th and 20th centuries that wide-spread, successful drainage took place, expanding the amount of arable and inhabitable land available.
Ely Cathedral was built on an island among the swampy fens, but now sits among acres of productive farmland, albeit farmland criss-crossed by miles of flood-preventing watercourses. Oliver Cromwell was born in Ely, and his family home can still be visited. Cambridge itself is a beautiful and historic city, with any number of impressive old buildings, churches and colleges, and plenty of chances to mess about on the River Cam which gave the city its name.
